Along with this cool poster, a new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer will be dropping at some point on Thursday (October 13) - so get some munchies and park yourself in front of your laptop, phone or tablet now.

The release of the pseudo-A New Hope prequel is inching ever closer - and we're finally getting a clearer picture of what Rogue One has in store for us.

Heading up a ragtag band of rebels definitely doesn't come naturally for Jyn Erso, an outlaw whose father Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) is a double agent feeding the Rebels info on the Empire's Death Star plans.
